Larger, Faster 7-Inch Display
The 2024 Paperwhite represents a major upgrade with its new-generation display technology.
-
7-Inch Screen: The largest display ever offered on a standard Kindle Paperwhite, providing more reading space and reducing the need for frequent page turns.
-
25% Faster Page Turns: Enhanced processing power delivers noticeably quicker page transitions and smoother scrolling through your library.
-
Higher Contrast Ratio: Improved E Ink technology produces darker blacks and brighter whites for text that appears sharper and more paper-like.
-
300 PPI Resolution: Maintains the crisp, laser-quality text rendering that makes Kindle displays indistinguishable from printed paper.
Exceptional Battery Life and Charging
The Paperwhite delivers industry-leading endurance that eliminates battery anxiety during extended reading sessions.
-
Up to 12 Weeks Per Charge: Based on 30 minutes of daily reading with wireless off and brightness at level 13, a single charge outlasts most vacations or long trips.
-
USB-C Fast Charging: Reaches full battery capacity in just 2.5 hours using a standard USB-C cable and 9W adapter.
-
Efficient Power Management: The E Ink display consumes power only when turning pages, not while displaying static text, extending battery life dramatically compared to tablets.
Adjustable Warm Light and Glare-Free Reading
The display is engineered for comfortable reading in any lighting condition, from bright sunlight to complete darkness.
-
Front-Lit Technology: Built-in adjustable LEDs illuminate the screen from the front rather than shining into your eyes like tablet backlights.
-
Warm Light Adjustment: Color temperature shifts from cool white to warm amber, reducing eye strain during nighttime reading and helping maintain natural sleep patterns.
-
94 Nits Maximum Brightness: Powerful enough to remain readable outdoors while staying comfortable for extended sessions.
-
Zero Glare: The matte E Ink surface eliminates reflections entirely, unlike glossy tablet screens that become mirrors in sunlight.
Waterproof Design and Portability
The Paperwhite’s IPX8 rating means you can read anywhere without worry.
-
IPX8 Waterproofing: Withstands immersion in up to 2 meters of fresh water for 60 minutes, making it safe for baths, pools, and beach reading.
-
Ultra-Thin Profile: At just 0.3 inches thick and weighing 7.4 ounces (211g), it slips easily into bags and can be held comfortably for hours.
-
Distraction-Free Design: No social media, notifications, email, or web browsing distractions—just pure reading.
Storage and Connectivity
The 16GB model provides ample space for even the most voracious readers.
-
16GB Storage: Holds thousands of books, magazines, and comics—more than enough for a lifetime library.
-
Free Cloud Storage: All Amazon content purchased from the Kindle Store is backed up automatically and can be redownloaded anytime.
-
Dual-Band WiFi: Supports both 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz networks for faster downloads and seamless synchronization across devices.
